Menstrual Cycle

It is a very special moment when you get your first period. And then we say: maybe this is worth a visit to the cinema for you and your parents or you go out for a meal together with your parents, without your siblings, or perhaps you have a little party or there is something special to eat, so don’t be shy. Dare to communicate this.

Birds

This DVD from the Vertebrates series comprehensively introduces birds by means of various examples of indigenous, tropical and polar bird species. Among other things, it provides information on typical bird characteristics such as skeleton and bone structure, structure and function of the beak and feathers as well as the principle of light-weightness. Impressive close-ups of prepared bird bones as well as of a feather’s vane serve to illustrate these aspects. The adaptability of birds to the environments of air, land and water as well as to different kinds of food are shown by means of the examples of typical representatives of the species such as eagle and falcon, emu, duck, moorhen and kingfisher. Here, the pupils also learn about the relation between diet and shape of beak. The reproduction and breeding of birds is illustrated with impressive outdoor pictures of courtship and nest-building with different bird species, the hatching of a chick, the raising of grey herons up to the squabs’ first attempts at flying. Furthermore, the menu includes additional pictures as well as a tabular list of the different breeding times of altricial and precocial birds. Thus, this DVD offers flexibility and variety in the classroom and is especially suited for interactive learning.

Evolution

Of all mammals existing today, the primates have the oldest phylogenetic tree. This film shows on the basis of extant species of the order of primates, which we humans also belong to, the phylogenetic tendencies in evolution from the treeshrew to prosimians, monkeys and apes to the genus homo. Special emphasis is laid on the visible outward characteristics of the skull and its sense organs, changes in the position of the spinal column as well as the development of extremities and their adaptation to various habitats. Changes in the anatomy of the skull, the development of the eye socket and also the shifting of the eyes from the sides to the front position, the dental structure and development of the jaw bones and the changing proportions of the mandible skeleton and the brain case are demonstrated on genuine skulls. The film analyses in detail the evolutionary tendencies of primates and convincingly answers the question on the origins of their development.

Ecosystem Lake

Lakes are stagnant waters that look quite peaceful to us. But the quiet is deceptive: above and below the water surface, life is anything but peaceful. Phytoplankton and zooplankton are eaten by small predators such as polyps or hydrachnidiae. Toebiters, dragonfly and beetle larvae are food for the water scorpion. As every animal feeds on different prey and in turn is eaten by various predators, a food web is created. The amount and variety of the lake inhabitants depends on the concentration of nutrients. In clear lakes, aquatic plants may spread down to a depth of 10 metres. Different zones with particular plant species are clearly visible. Also animals above the water profit from the rich underwater life, for example the waterfowl. Ever since the lake was formed, wind and waves have been carrying dead plants and animals to the shore, where they have sunk down and decomposed. At the same speed at which the lakeside grows, the water surface of the lake shrinks. With its extensive additional material the didactic DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Organic Farm

That is how we imagine an ideal farm. Free-range hens, cows are being driven from the pasture into the stable, a cat is straying across the yard, the dog is watching over everything... This farm of farmer Ponzaun, however, exists today only because he need not subsist on the profit he makes from selling the products grown on his farm. The main income on the Ponzaun farm derives from the guests who want to experience once again what life was like on a farm in former times. During their holiday on the farm the children and the grown-ups want to participate in the daily life that is determined by the care for and life together with the animals and nature.

Pubertät

Die Zeit zwischen Mädchen und Frau, zwischen Junge und Mann ist aufregend und extrem. Mal geht es auf, dann wieder ab. Es ist eine Zeit der Gegensätze und Launen, Irrungen und Wirrungen. Man nennt sie: Pubertät. Biologisch zeichnet sich die Pubertät durch die Veränderung der primären und sekundären Geschlechtsmerkmale aus. Der Reifeprozess verläuft bei Mädchen und Jungen unterschiedlich. Wenn Kinder in die Pubertät kommen, entsteht im Gehirn eine neue Ordnung. Früher dachte man, dass das Gehirn im Alter von sechs Jahren ausgebildet sei. Heute weiß man, dass das Gehirn während der Pubertät noch einmal ganz neu umstrukturiert wird. Die Meinung der Erwachsenen wird plötzlich nur noch sehr ungern akzeptiert. Dafür suchen Jugendliche nun verstärkt Rückhalt bei Gleichaltrigen. Unser Unterrichtsfilm zeigt die Erfahrungen von Mädchen und Jungen sowie Eltern auf.

Enzymes

Almost every biochemical reaction in living organisms is regulated and controlled by enzymes. Without enzymes we could not breathe, digest food and the hereditary information in our cells could not be repaired and copied.

Slow Worm

The slow worm is a small, completely harmless lizard, which – contrary to its German name “Blindschleiche”– is perfectly able to see and is often mistaken for a snake because it has no legs and an elongated body. The German name is presumably derived from the Old High German word “Plintslicho”, which means “blinding sneaker”. This probably refers to the pretty, shining skin surface of the slow worm.
